We have a habit to keep quite during a journey if the fellow passenger is a stranger. This tendency is always there in men, it is inborn and no one should be blamed for it. I used to travel from hometown to Chennai and I always stick to this policy, as most of the time I travel alone. However, on one occasion I had a chance to meet a person who works in a company in Ascendas, Chennai (I do not remember the company name). The person was having book and he is having lot of conversation with the fellow passengers. After a while, he started to talk to me. Talked about current affairs, human behavior, ethics, career options in front of me and lot more. I never thought he would be such a nice person and he was talking about the corrupt politicians their statistics and all. He said his name, but I do not remember, but I can recognize his face. But I find it one of my good experience on train.

The word evangelist got the simple definition- a person who spreads good news. But people consider it as something else which is not applicable to them. How often we do this? How many times a day or at least in a year we do this? We find some difficulty in doing this. The human tendency is to hear more about bad news. So we should e aware of this fact and try to change accordingly. The people who try to spread good news will be liked by everyone. Make it a habit to spread some good news daily so that others will get happy.

Are college dropouts more successful than people with good education? It would seem so if you consider that many billionaires are people who dumped college. However, what this hides is the fact that although millions quit studies before completing them, very few of them go on to become rich.What the list of the super-rich dropouts signifies is that in business, a top degree is not as important as having the right aptitude, attitude, determination and vision. Here are some dropouts who went on to become billionaires:William Henry Gates III (1955-), along with Paul Allen, co-founded Microsoft Corporation, the world's largest software maker. Bill Gates, the wealthiest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $480 crores (Rs 211,200 crore!), is probably the best-known college dropout. Gates attended an exclusive prep school in Seattle, went on to study at Harvard University, then dropped out to pursue software development. As students in the mid-70s, he and Paul Allen wrote the original Altair BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800, the first commercially successful PC.In 1975, Micro-Soft - later Microsoft Corporation - was born. Three decades on, Gates has been Number One on the Forbes 400 for over a dozen years. And here's something you probably didn't know: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation currently provides 90 per cent of the world budget for the attempted eradication of polio.

Here's something not many people know about Subhash Chandra Goel : The Zee chairman dropped out after standard 12.Subhash Chandra started his own vegetable oils unit at 19. It was, in a manner of speaking, his first job. Years later, a casual visit to a friend at Doordarshan gave him the idea of starting his own broadcasting company. We all know how that story ran. Chandra knew nothing about programming, distribution or film rights. What he did understand quite well was the Indian sensibility though. Funded by UK businessmen, Zee came into being as India's first satellite TV network. Today, it reaches 320 lakhs homes, connecting with 20 crores people in South Asia alone.
